Description

This is a Vintage Rattan Coiled and Leather Handled Honey Basket that sits on a Wooden Frame from Cameroon. Honey has been a valued commodity in Cameroon for ages, and now a growing number of local groups have found it a viable means of support. This basket was made by women using traditional tools and indigenous trees. Bee Keeping became another source of income and producing honey was expected to contribute to the reduction of poverty as well as changing the soc-economic and ecological environments of this region.
